Explanation of above estimates (including long-range effect):
The estimated cost to the State under the Public School Support Program (PSSP) for the 2017-18 year and thereafter for a $5,716 across the board increase in the basic teacher salary is $155,476,723. This includes the estimated increases in Step 1 for professional salaries ($114,228,729), Step 3 for fixed charges ($9,835,094), Step 6 for operations and substitute costs ($14,278,591), and retirement ($17,134,309).
The county boards of education would also incur additional costs for the salary increase for the counselors and nurses included in Step 5 of PSSP since the allowance is fixed at the 2012-13 amount, for all professional personnel over formula, and for all other professional personnel employed from other funding sources. The estimated cost to the county boards of education for the 2017-18 year and thereafter for a $5,716 across the board increase in the basic teacher salary schedule is $28,511,338. This includes the estimated increases in professional salaries, fixed charges, and retirement. Please note that the estimated cost to the county boards of education does not include the additional cost for extended contract terms.
The total combined estimated cost for both the State and the county boards of education for the teacher salary increase contained in the proposed legislation is $183,988,061 for the 2017-18 year and thereafter.
